The ride-hailing car kept moving, with the high-rise buildings swiftly receding outside the window.
The architecture on either side became increasingly low and sparse, and the already gloomy sky darkened further, as though a storm was about to turn into a torrential downpour.

Chen Feng simply replied until half an hour later.
A group of modest buildings sat around, with the high-rises already out of sight.
Gray factories and brick walls stretched across the land; the cement road, covered with a layer of dust, continued on.
"Young man, I can only take you this far."
"Past that white line is the outskirts. It's not like the city here. Please understand..."
The ride-hailing driver said a few words, and Chen Feng nodded, indicating his understanding.
There is no Heavenly Eye surveillance in the outskirts. With Nanjiang's recent unrest, the driver also feared encountering a robbery.
